So essentially its the world map, but it doesn't look like the world,tbh, it doesn't really appeal to me. Given the choice of playing a map versus some circles in a configuration that resembles the world, I'd choose to play the world map... however you could go the route of doing one of those human population, then I might be interested.

As IH mentioned, it doesn't look like the world. When I saw the title I thought "Oh cool, a supersized version of World 2.1!" Then when I saw it I was deeply disappointed. IMHO this is just another take of the old Classic theme. DiM, I know you appreciate honesty, I like every map you've made so far, - and this is not from my CA perspective - but I think you can come up with a better way to portray the world than this. I would like to see an updated world map with more countries, like for instance, Sudan is now split into two countries.

world 3.0 is a dream of mine from way back 2007. a world where each and every country appears as a single terit. from there i had several gameplay ideas ranging from economic powers to a battle for resources.however i have tried countless times to do such a map and utterly failed because there are lots of tiny tiny countries. i tried skewed versions i tried zoom bubbles (or whatever they're called) and i could not find a solution that fully satisfies me so i abandoned that idea in favour of this one.i don't know, i'll go ahead with it and see where it leads. if people don't like it then i'll bin it and that's that.

A layout like that would look more natural as a world map -the current image kind of reminds me of a Go board...

The columns for the coordinates would be a problem, yes, but I think it can be solved... Rows would still be even, maybe you could use some kind of markings for the columns... or something.

Anyway, it's your map, and if you don't like the idea that's fine, this is the last I'll mention of this.

that would have the same problem, naming them. DiM choose circles so he could name them in a grid, which is much harder with your layout. i beleive DiM doesn't want his map to be like Hive (and i prever it that way too, Hive is a nice map but quite confusing)

The gameplay is obviously reminiscent to the Classic, but I'm not sure if I approached this map as just an image, I'd be able to tell it was the world from an initial get go. Africa is the only thing that stands out.

So it is disappoint that this didn't work out:

brilliant idea. i will most certainly do it.

edit// it's not going too well. as it turns out the style isn't fitting i'll keep trying though

As I was looking over World 3.0, I thought it would be interesting to do a map where every country was the same size - the connections remain, but countries themselves would just be represented by a square or circle.

Then I open this map and... well, its in a similar vein. Like some others, I'm not really feeling this one as is, but I wonder how it would work in that direction. Think Pixel World vs World 3.0 mash-up.

The six months of vacation for this map has expired and this map will now be labeled as [Abandoned]. If the original mapmaker wants to continue this map project that's fine but an update must provided. From this moment anyone else is free to take this project without the original mapmaker permission, but it has to be started from scratch.
